- Don't use aspirin and B and E vitamins and other similar medications 1 week before operation.
- If you drink alcohol, don't consume excess alcohol 2 days before the operation.
- If you are allergic to any drugs, please inform your doctor during the consultation.
- Do not smoke 24 hours before the operation if possible. Remember that smoking will extend the convalescence time.
- Bring comfortable button-down or zippered shirts or sweatshirts so you do not pull anything over your head after the operation.
- Wear comfortable clothing (sweatpants are suggested).
- Do not use any gel or sprays before the operation.
- Bring your passport with you to the hospital on the day of your operation.
Aftercare
- Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
-
Post-op care package provided for the first 5 to 7 days after surgery:
- Sebamed shampoo for everyday use
- Topical foam spray. Use before wash every day for 2 weeks. Use 20 minutes before washing hair with shampoo.
- Antibiotic cream. For use on donor area. Use 1 time per day for 5 days.
- Oral antibiotic medication. Dosage: 1 tablet 2 times per day for 5 days.
- Anti-inflammatory/anti-edema/painkiller. Dosage: 1 tablet 2 times per day for 5 days.
- Pain medication. Dosage: As needed if there is pain.
- Hat, neck pillow, headband, and bag
- Do not touch the transplanted area during the first night. You don’t need to wash your head that night.
- While outdoors, cover your head with the hat the clinic provides.
- Sleep with your head elevated on 3 or 4 pillows to avoid rubbing or detaching any grafts. Sleep this way for the first 4 days to also help reduce swelling.
- Avoid alcohol for the first 5 days to 2 weeks. Alcohol is a cytotoxin that affect your healing.
- Do not smoke for at least 4 weeks after the transplant as this can negatively affect your result and delay or interfere with the growth of the transplanted hair.
- You will learn how to wash your hair at the clinic the day after your treatment. They will do the wash for you and how to wash your head at home.
- Avoid touching, scratching or rubbing the transplanted area. The grafts take root in their new home and after day 5, should no longer be dislodged by accidental touch.
- Avoid sun exposure on the scalp for at least 6 months. Sunburn may affect the pigmentation of skin and can also damage transplanted hair.
- You can run or walk in the gym for the first 5 days after your transplant. Don’t wipe your forehead as you may dislodge your hair grafts.
- Most of your scabs/crusts should come off by day 6. If you still have scabs, then leave the shampoo on the transplanted area a little longer (10-15 minutes) to make scabs softer and wash a little more aggressively until scabs are gone (but don’t pick them off).
- Can use skin moisturizer on the scalp if donor area is itchy.
- You can resume all physical activities and sports after the first 5 days.
- You may see some pimple-like lesion called folliculitis. They behave like regular pimples and will usually subside but if you have more than 2-3, they are inflamed, or painful, contact doctor who can incise them for you.
- You will shed the transplanted hair in weeks 2-4 and this is normal.
- From week 4, you can wash your hair as normal and also cut, style, and dye your hair.

The medical staff at smile where helpful, polite and considerate. Everything was well explained no surprises and the aftercare has been explained including all the medications you need after the operation
From pick up to drop off it was stress free. The medical staff at smile where helpful, polite and considerate. Everything was well explained no surprises and the aftercare has been explained including all the medications you need after the operation. The hotel was nice and clean with breakfast included the only think is the TV didn’t have the option to have English on the TV or even in subtitles or an option to login to a streaming service seems you are in your room a lot after the operation but other than the TV I have nothing bad to say about the whole trip.

I was very impressed by their [Smile Hair Clinic] professionalism and their expertise in hair transplantation. Using Qnomedical through this journey has been also one of the best choice that I made.
I had my hair transplant on Monday 15th July 2019 (a total of 2940 grafts) and I can already see a positive result even after one week! I decided to do this procedure with Smile Hair Clinic in Turkey, and I must say that I have been very impressed by Dr Gokay Bilgin and his Team. They delivered such a great Customer/Patient experience from start to finish, not to mention the aftercare plan that you take home with you! I was nervous to travel abroad to undergo a second hair transplant procedure, as my first transplant done in Dublin in July 2014, was certainly not what I expected in term of the procedure and results. Smile Hair Clinic delivered a totally different experience from the outset. I was very impressed by their professionalism and their expertise in hair transplantation. They are extremely efficient, and you can clearly tell that they have so much experience in this field. You can really trust them! Using Qnomedical through this journey has been also one of the best choice that I made. Jenny has been so helpful and made the entire process so streamlined! Delighted by their service and I would highly recommend Qnomedical to take you through this journey. I am already planning to go next year to get my second hair transplant with Smile Hair Clinic, and looking forward to meeting Dr Gokay Bilgin and his team again.

Generally good, just better after care is needed.
Generally good, just better after care is needed. Doctor should send message once a week or month for post care rather then having to send messages. Although they do always answer questions quickly which is good.

it went great from start to finish dr gokay bilgin and dr mehmet erdogan were brilliant and their teams also
We were left hanging around the airport at first but I think it was because of peak time traffic and there may have been an accident on the roads. Once in the car it was grand. On the Saturday our check ups and procedure began and it went great from start to finish dr gokay bilgin and dr mehmet erdogan were brilliant and their teams also. The whole process couldn’t be faulted for me
